CHOCOLATE DROP.

Reading edition

There lived beside a certain sea

A humpy, dumpy, brown ba-bee,

Whose length and breadth were just the same,

And what is more, this ba-bee's name

Was Chocolate Drop.

This humpy, dumpy, brown ba-bee

Had a Mamma as brown as she,

Who thought no ba-bee, dark or light,

Was ever half so sweet and bright

As Chocolate Drop.

They say (as strange as it may seem)

That she was made of country cream,

And rolled in something brown and sweet,

Which made this ba-bee so complete

A Chocolate Drop.

Illustration from Under Blue Skies: Verses & Pictures

Out on the end of an apple-tree bough

A birdie was singing a song just now,

And when it was ended

The birdie pretended

To say Good-bye,

but he did not

know how!
